Examination of Conversion Narratives Olaudah Equiano and John Marrant Otherworldly collections of memoirs, or change accounts, were mainstream types of writing in the seventeenth and eighteenth hundreds of years with Americans and Europeans the same. Daniel Shea clarifies an otherworldly collection of memoirs is essentially worried about the topic of effortlessness: regardless of whether the individual has been acknowledged into divine life, an acknowledgment meant by mental and moral changes which the autobiographer comes to recognize as far as he can tell (XI). In like manner, these sort of writings were regularly utilized as strict, political, or social purposeful publicity. In view of this, Olaudah Equiano's The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, Or Gustavus Vassa, The African without anyone else (1789) and John Marrant's Narrative of the Lord's Wonderful Dealings with John Marrant, a Black (1785) don't apparently appear to be interconnected.
